British V8 2011 - Townsend, TN

danmas · July 21, 2010, 11:53:49 AM

Plans are well under way for the 2011 meet, to be held at the same motel as the 2006 meet, the Talley Ho Inn in Townsend, TN. http://talleyhoinn.com/

Better make your reservations now, as the rooms will go quickly. Be sure to mention British V8.

I haven't finalized the program yet, but unless I get a lot of requests otherwise, it will look a lot like the program from 2006. We'll start with burgers and dogs on Sunday, May 15, and will end with BBQ & Blue Grass on Wednesday, May 18.

Registration fees will probably be close to the '06 fees, but I won't know actual fees until I finalize catering costs and other expenses.

The final schedule and the registration form will be posted by mid September (on this site, right, Curtis?).

Dan, you'll have to exert your influence to ensure that The Dragon is open for business next May.....damn rockslides!!

danmas · July 21, 2010, 10:42:36 PM

Graham,

Supposedly, the highway department has stabilized the slide-prone areas on the Dragon, so we should have no problem next year. Repairs were completed and it was re-opened two weeks ago.

Anyone know where room 118 is?

JB

kstevusa · July 23, 2010, 07:51:24 AM

Well, Maybe I was a bit confused, seems like the shop was George Horton's or Tim Dickel! It does not matter. We'll have a fantastic time!!!

Jim, Rm #118 is at the front facing the hwy. it is the 2nd room down from the office and has a rear exit onto the lot behind the office.

RMO 699F · July 23, 2010, 03:47:53 PM

Registered for room #154, see you all in @ ten months!!!!

HealeyRick · July 24, 2010, 11:46:42 AM

This is really tempting. Be the perfect place to debut the Exploder Healey. Always wanted to do the Dragon. Better get my butt out into the garage if I'm going to make it!

This event is not this Fall, guys.

Room changed from 118 to 140. Thanks for the info Kelly.

FYI, The Blount British Car Club annual Meet is for that week-end. they conclude on the 15th. You can ck their site by googling Blount British Cars. They have a good turn-out and occupy the Talley-Ho also. May want to consider coming early and cking out their show. They have a great show! Just thought I would mention this since there will be a limited number of rooms at the Talley Ho, but they probably have an overflow with another hotel? Again , Thank Dan!
